Hi all
I wonder if anybody relates to the following situation:
- I have hearing loss by otosclerosis, and i had tinnitus for 8 years, very low level loudness (maybe a 1 out of 10) never bothered me.
- Then, in September 2022, i change my old hearing aids for a new and more powerful setof hearing aids from widex, and my tinnitus agravate tremendously.
- I used the new widex hearing aids for 5 weeks and during that time my tinnitus worsen so much that it becomes a 9 out of 10.
- I stopped using the widex hearing aids in october 2022 (5 weeks after i started using them) returning to my old hearing aids, and since then my tinnitus stopped agravating and had become better over time, now it's maybe a 4 or 5 out of 10
Does anybody else experienced a similar situation - hearing aids agravating tinnitus?
Does anybody know a similar case?
Best regards
